    Registration Contract 

    Initial below each section of the Registration Contract.

    ​Medical and Risk Waiver
    Please understand that ballet is a risky form of art; therefore, all teachers, directors, officers, partners, guest dancers and employees of L’Etoile/ RBAM are not responsible for any accident or injury that may occur. The students and parents should understand the risks involved, and agree to follow all safety instructions and precautions. The participant also agrees to waive, release, covenant not to sue, and indemnify and hold harmless L’Etoile/RBAM from any claims, actions, suits, costs, expenses, damages or liabilities, including attorney's fees for personal injury, property damage, accidents, illnesses, or any incidental damages that may arise from the use of the facilities or of participation in the activity of ballet.  The staff should be informed of any special medical/health problem or needs, restrictions, conditions, and/or injuries that your child may have.  If your child has any serious conditions and/or illnesses, you must bring written permission to take ballet classes from the primary doctor. If your child misses any class/rehearsals because of an illness or injury, parents must provide a doctor's note. All students are required to be covered by their own insurance. If any injury occurs, it is understood that the family is responsible for any medical costs. It is understood that L'Etoile is not responsible for any personal property that is lost, stolen, or damaged while attending L'Etoile. 

    Consent Waiver
    L'Etoile follows the Vaganova syllabus and methodology, which often requires the teachers to manually adjust the student in order to achieve the correct body position, posture, or alignment. Manually correcting students is a non-invasive, standard practice of Vaganova methodology and is not intended to cause any bodily harm to the student. By registering, I authorize and agree that L'Etoile may take and use photographs and video recordings for marketing (publications and website) and social media. I also understand that L’Etoile/RBAM may remove my child from any class, rehearsal, performance, and audition due to disruptive behavior. Make-up classes will only be available during the following month of the missed class. There is no refund or refinancing for any missed classes. Classes must have a minimum of 7 students to proceed, if enrollment falls below 7 students, class may be combined with another level. Schedule and faculty are subject to change. I also understand that all tuition, performances, costumes, registration and audition fees are non-refundable for any reason.

    Registration Agreement 
    • Facility Rules and Regulations:
      • Children under the age of 5 must have parental supervision in the waiting areas.
      • No photography/video is allowed during classes, rehearsals, and/or performances.
      • No street shoes are allowed to be worn in the studios.
      • Only water allowed in the studios, no other food, drinks, or gum permitted.
      • No running, climbing on furniture, or rough housing on the premises, including the lobby.
      • L'Etoile is not responsible for any items lost or stolen in the studio.
      • Parents may observe classes at any time, but please do not enter the studio.
      • Keep the noise level to a minimum in the lobby while classes are in progress.
      • Students MUST clean up after eating, and throw away all trash.
    • Etiquette: Students and parents are expected to be courteous, polite, friendly, and respectful to all faculty members, guest faculty, parents, each other, and all guests. It is also essential that our students respect, understand, and follow the school policies. Disrespectful, aggressive, and/or disruptive behavior will not be accepted and L’Etoile has the right to remove the student from the school for this type of behavior.
    • Attendance/Punctuality: Students are encouraged to arrive early to all classes to warm-up, prepare for class, and use the restroom. Students must be inside the ballet studio prior to the beginning of class, not in the dressing room. If a student arrives late, she should wait at the door until invited into the classroom by the teacher. If a student is more than ten minutes late, the student may be asked to observe the class because missing the warm-up exercises may cause a physical injury to the student.  All absences should be called in or emailed to the Academy in advance. Injured students are strongly encouraged to come and observe classes so they will be familiar with the corrections and combinations when they return to class.
    • Communication: It is our goal to keep L'Etoile families informed of all activities and events. E-mail updates are sent on a regular basis and it is important that all families provide a current e-mail address that is checked frequently. All information is also posted on the bulletin board in the lobby, which students and parents should read frequently. Please address all questions by e-mail to the Artistic Directors, not to the teachers! We accept e-mails from parents/legal guardians only. If you would like to speak with the Artistic Directors in person, please make an appointment in advance in order to avoid interruption of classes and/or rehearsal. Please no phone calls on Saturdays after the studio closes, Sundays, and any day after 9:00pm.
    • Dismissals: L’Etoile/RBAM has the right to dismiss any student/family from the school due to: misconduct, breaking of school policies, regular complaints, pressure placed on the Directors, teachers, staff, and/or other families, defamation (slander or libel) of the school, and/or spreading false information about the school. No refund will be given.
    • Withdrawals: L'Etoile will respect your decision to withdraw from the curriculum. If you wish to withdraw your child, please do so in a polite and respectful way. It must be presented in writing with the remaining tuition balance. You further agree to be liable, obligated, and responsible for the costs of collecting all outstanding amounts, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
